Synopsis
The movie reflects the current state of education in Mexico. The movie shows parents, principals, teachers, officials, union representatives and opinion leaders to present an overall picture about education in Mexico.
It captures the daily dynamics of schools in Ciudad Juarez within Yucatan, Morelia, the mountains of Chiapas and Guerrero and Naucalpan and Iztapalapa in the metropolitan area of Mexico City.
Controversies
The film was criticized for ignoring Elba Esther Gordillo's relationship with Felipe Calderon and Emilio Azcarraga Jean and the Alliance for Quality Education in 2008.[1]
